Gaelic Proverbs

The value of the well is not known until it goes dry.

The best apple is on the highest bough.

The learning in youth is the pretty learning.

Beauty won't boil the pot.

Hot water will quench fire.

The strong foot will not find more than the big belly will devour.

A friend's eye is a good looking-glass.

A lazy youth will make an active old man.

A son is a son until he comes of age; a daughter is a daughter all her life.

A priest should be learned, but learning won't make a priest.
